Eye spy... Dr. Scherrer giving free eye exams! 👀🔍

Part of the ACVO Service Animal Volunteer Eye Screening event, New Bolton Center ophthalmologists conducted free eye exams for working horses at Thorncroft Equestrian Center and Quest Therapeutic Services Inc.

The team was led by Nicole Scherrer, associate professor of clinical large animal ophthalmology, one of only five specialists in the U.S. who exclusively sees equine and large animal patients.

Our very own Dr. Nikki Scherrer, associate professor of clinical large animal ophthalmology, was interviewed in The Chronicle Of The Horse about getting her patient Socs fit and able to compete in Kentucky!

Spectators at the Cosequin Lexington CCI4*-S (Kentucky) may have noticed something unusual about Olivia Dutton’s horse as he galloped around the four-star cross-country course: Sea of Clouds, her father Phillip Dutton’s former five-star mount, now has a cloudy eye. We caught up with Olivia to find out about the injury, the surgery and the recovery process that helped him feel himself again.

Dr. Cristobal Navas de Solis (Penn Vet New Bolton Center) describes how expanded use of heart-rate monitors during high-intensity exercise has improved understanding of sudden death in horses. While these events are uncommon, exercising arrhythmias, or abnormal heart rhythms, are the most common cause, and atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia associated with these events. This research is helping inform how veterinarians approach affected horses and appropriate activity levels. “I think we can now say safely, horses shouldn’t exercise at high intensity while in atrial fibrillation,” he says. “Low-intensity is a different story. Many horses may be able to exercise at low intensity while on atrial fibrillation.”

Dr. Cristobal Navas de Solis (Penn Vet New Bolton Center) describes what equine veterinarians gain from measuring heart rates of performance horses. Heart rate monitors help them see how horses respond metabolically and cardiovascularly to exercise. Are the horses tolerating the effort well, is their training preparing them properly for competition, or is their heart rate too high (which may be an indication of a problem, whether that’s pain or subclinical [inapparent] disease)?
